I attended a Python3000 talk by Anthony Baxter last month (Anthony is the release manager for Python).
He mentioned that Python 2.x is will be supported for a very long time. They definitely expect to have 2.7 and may be even 2.8. They are also going to backport important features and security fixes from 3.x
Google has a very large codebase written in Python 2.x, it's in their interest to support the language for as long as needed.
